Woman Pilot Stoos in Cleve
land After First Lap
of Journey.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND. February 18 —Amelia
Earhart and her Lockheed Electra
“flying laboratory," in which she
hopes shortly to circle the globe,
reached Cleveland Airport at 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Accompanying
the woman pilot are her husband.
George Palmer Putnam; Capt. Harry
Manning, who will be navigator on
the Pacific crossing, and her me
chanic, "Bo" McKneeley.
This first leg of the transcontinen
tal trip prior to the Oakland take-off
jjext month was made leisurely, with
an average speed of 183 miles an
hour. "We just loafed along.” Miss
Earhart said. "There was no hurry
and I like to coddle my engines.
There's plenty of work ahead for
them."
Miss Earhart explained that on the
present flight she is more interested
In testing fuel consumption and in
atruments than in attempting speed or
distance.
"At Newark for the last tew days
the ship has been swarming with me
chanics and technicians," she said.
"New gadgets have beer, added and
a general check-up made. Western
Electric added a 500-kilocycle fre
quency to my radio sending and re
ceiving equipment.”
Miss Earhart said all instruments,
new and old, seemed to be functioning
perfectly. "The ship is a honey." she
added with a characteristic grin.
Asked if there w-ere any new facts
about her forthcoming flight to an
nounce now, she said that arrange
merits have been made to use for the
take-offs at Oakland, Honolulu and
Howland the new 100-octane standard
aviation gasoline recently developed.
"The extra power In this new fuel
will help in getting the heavy over
loads into the air. I hope to learn a
lot from such actual experience.”
Weather permitting, the party ex
pects to proceed toward California
th*s morning. Miss Earhart explained
she had abandoned her plan of stop
ping at Lafayette, Ind.. to visit Purdue
University, where she is a consultant
in aeronautics, because Dr. Elliott, the
president, and others with whom she
wished to confer will not be there
today. As soon as possible after the
completion of the world flight she
said she would fly back to Purdue and
thence to New York.

EVER hear of a Cherry blushing too vividly
—getting too much suntan—or being em
barrassed with a cracked complexion?
All of that can really happen to Cherries, you
know, but—frankly—that kind of fruit just
can't rate membership in HUNT’S exclusive
Royal Anne Cherry family.
Indeed, anything short of perfection simply
doesn't measure up to “fancy grade" specifi
cations of the Canner's League of California.
And ALL HI NT Supreme Quality Fruits are
“fancy grade." which is another way of saying
“Mother Mature s Finest."
When it's Cherry Time out in the colorful
Pacific Coast orchards HUNT fruit experts
move swiftlv and knowingly. Thev insist that
HUNT Royal Anue Cherries must be the very
largest obtainable—they must uniformly hoast
a beautiful “russet-blush"—they must be at
the peak of luscious, sugary, flavorful maturity
when gathered. And no time can be lost from
orchard to canning kitchens, for even a sudden
shower has been known to ruin an entire crop,
eligible for the proud “Supreme Quality'' label.
The demand for HUNT'S Supreme Quality
Canned Foods means the maintenance of eight
great modern packing plants in the hearts of
«
famous Pacific Coast garden spots—each dedi
cated to “Supreme Quality” ideals of perfec
tion.
The proud HUNT Supreme Quality label really
means more food value for your money—re
gardless of how modest your budget. Use list
at left as a shopping guide—and always de
mand “HUNT'S Supreme!”
